Kid in the village has a Vitus Dominier with a broken hanger.

From here

I can see he needs Hanger 4.

Can't find one!

Anyone got a source?

There are a couple of places you can try

Pilo direct may also be an option

Betd also worth a look.

It's unlikely that was the only frame it was ever used on. It's also unlikely you are the first person to have this problem. If you have the time you can occasionally pull up something through internet searches.

No luck.

I've emailed them all to no avail.

Looks like this might be the only frame with this hanger.....?

Anyone know who might have got Vitus box of bits from the CRC fallout? I'm sure there will be a box of them in a warehouse somewhere.

Or who in the world was making Vitus bikes back then?

I've no idea if they're legit. or if they ship to the UK & I've never heard of them I'm afraid, but it might be worth an email.

Or perhaps speak to Ascend Components and see if they have any ideas.

I doubt it's only used by that one frame. It looks very similar to hanger#1 . Have you tried AliExpress, there is lots on there if you put the time in to dig. The key is finding the correct generic search term.

Thanks for the help.

I've emailed Ascend components:

"Yes, we have some Nukeproof and Vitus spares availability but unfortunately we don’t have the Dominer hanger nor do we expect to find any. "

Gearmechhanger.com (UK PILO distributer):

"Thank you for your message, sadly we can not supply the Vitus #4 hanger, our engineers do not make an aftermarket product, and I have never been able to source one, other than from the manufacturer back in the day.
It was only ever supplied by Vitus an an original part."

Also:

"also I am aware that the bolt hole distances on our D775 will not match the Vitus #4"

That Geardk.com site has to be a scam - may prioces too good to be true, e.g. https://www.geardk.com/e-thirteen-e-thirteen-trs-race-carbon-gen4-crankset/ https://www.geardk.com/campagnolo-campagnolo-record-12-speed-hydraulic-ergos-and-caliper/

Oh well, my last attempt, is this any good? It's an unspecified Vitus hanger from a website I also have never heard of, but it does look possible.

This chap also appears to be looking so it might be worth PMing to see if he's had any luck.
